UVA/VT an honest assessment

VT - more eyeballs watch games VT - more students from VA schools which include parents VT - more alumni VT - more students graduating to become alumni VT - new DC area campus VT - bigger stadium VT - Expanding student body to what 30,0000-40,000? UVA - Thomas Jefferson VT - better football team UVA - UNC wants them to join them UVA - more students from PA, MD, NJ, NY sounds like UVA is nore Big 10 VT more SEC now who wins UVA wanting Big 10 or UNC's desire for sec. Same money. Both win stadiums that are too small for a P2 conference. ** Edited by LocalExperts at 8/10/2022, 8:47:45 PM ** Edited by LocalExperts at 8/10/2022, 8:48:30 PM

Again, there is an answer to this
Vippie1 • 08/11/22 08:22 AM ET
What do you estimate as the VT - UVA fan percentages in VA?
EDGEMAN • 08/11/22 06:45 AM ET
there's no way it's 3:1. Maybe 3:2, but I'd say it's closer to even.**

13.2% of Virginia Tech's 29,300 undergrads...
Old Line Hokie • 08/11/22 12:32 AM ET

Unc wants at least one gimmie win in whatever conference they go to — Uva**
3TechFanz • 08/11/22 07:04 AM ET
What does UVA desire?
WarHog38 • 08/10/22 09:38 PM ET
I don't think it's up to UVA
hokieZ71 • 08/10/22 10:37 PM ET
Exactly and unc is trying to influence it
Mercury • 08/11/22 07:28 AM ET
If UNC/UVA both head to B1G.

Miami is a northeastern school located in south Florida
mrcaniac • 08/11/22 02:18 PM ET
That’s the other part of this
hokieZ71 • 08/11/22 06:52 AM ET
Allow me to suggest a killer reason for The SEC to add UNC/UVa.
33laszlo99 • 08/10/22 09:07 PM ET
Meh ... if BIG took Maryland and Rutgers, they'd take VT and NCSU if
HokieToph • 08/11/22 01:30 PM ET
This implies VT institution is inferior to UVA??? really???? really?**
Mercury • 08/10/22 10:52 PM ET
Devil’s advocate - how is it not?**

If you say Tech is superior, I'll respect it.
33laszlo99 • 08/10/22 11:37 PM ET
UVA as an academic institution is elite.
hokieZ71 • 08/11/22 07:01 AM ET
"Brand on brand" match ups describes The SEC's stated strategy.
33laszlo99 • 08/11/22 08:50 AM ET
ND, Oregon, Washington and Stanford are next up for the B1G
hokieZ71 • 08/11/22 09:05 AM ET
But
MrFantastic! • 08/11/22 06:15 AM ET
I suspect the BIG has various pairs in mind
HokieAl • 08/10/22 10:36 PM ET
The B1G doesn't need UNC/UVA to get a foot in the door.
hokieZ71 • 08/10/22 09:16 PM ET
You may be right Z, but those two academic plums are the real prize.**
33laszlo99 • 08/10/22 09:25 PM ET
Academics. Well, gimme Duke and Stanford then. Way better than UVA/UNC.
hokieZ71 • 08/10/22 09:46 PM ET
You don't think I know that provide a reason for UNC/UVA to want to go to
LocalExperts • 08/10/22 09:11 PM ET

LocalExperts • 08/10/22 09:10 PM ET
They desire an association with like minded institutions.
